Handle master site failure

If the site holding the master node fails, you lose the master's functionality. You must quickly start a new master on one of the remaining sites.

In the meantime, the cluster continues to function as best it can. The peers continue to stream data to other peers based on the list of target peers that they were using at the time the master went down. If some of their target peers go down (as would likely be the case in a site failure), they remove them from their lists of streaming targets and continue to stream data to any peers remaining on their lists.
